Body

Art died May 26, 2012, after battling a rare form of cancer.

At Princeton he majored in the Woodrow Wilson School and joined Elm Club. His senior roommate was Ken Block, and his chief activity was fencing, which he loved and excelled in, earning all-Ivy honors in foil.

After graduation, Art received a law degree from Columbia University in 1960, and while at Columbia married his love, Lynn, in 1958. He served six months of active duty in the Army, and then five and a half years in the Reserve.

He began practicing law in New York City. In 1969 he founded his own firm in New Brunswick, N.J., where he continued until 2011. The family moved to Highland Park. He was president of the Middlesex County Bar Association (MCBA) and the Bar Foundation. Art also was a visiting lecturer in Princeton’s politics department. In 1996 he received the MCBA Lawyer Achievement Award in recognition of his outstanding legal practice.

Art loved the outdoors and skiing, tennis, and especially biking in New Jersey and California. Here was a classmate who lived a full life, did much good, and enjoyed it.

To Lynn; children Jennifer and Jonathan; and grandsons Gabriel and Rain, the class sends sincere best wishes. He will be missed.
